Undercover Fashionista Taraji P. made moves for the 2009 Queen of Chic Crown wearing a champagne colored strapless for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival:
If you love her look, get it for less with these under $200 options:
1. Nicole Miller Strapless Stretch Satin Sheath, $170. 2. Axcess Silver-Tone Turquoise Necklace, $18. 3. BCBGirls Women’s Alba Peep Toe Pump, $79. 4. Shimmer Strapless Dress, $25. 5. Cheshire Croc Clutch, $23. 6. Barse Turquoise Circle Ring, $73.50.
The Simmons sisters were spotted out this weekend in NYC in some very comfortable looking outfits…
Warm fuzzy Ugg boots were in full effect, as were stretchy tights and down jackets.
I’m personally a subscriber to Fabulosity Law # 10, “Dress like you might run into your worst enemy,” meaning the most comfy I’ll go are Tory Burch ballet slippers or Miss Sixty flat leather boots with jeans and a sweater.
But what about you guys? If you’re relaxing on the weekend, do you make an effort or just say ‘eff it’?
Last week I promised more Real Style from Regine’s, so today I give you Celia-Jane:
An editor for Buck, a UK based Men’s online magazine, Celia-Jane was party ready in a cute sequined black jacket and grey and black spectator booties (which are all the rage here in Paris!).
Do you like her style?
Bisous!

The Black Snob has a clip of a CNN story purporting that Barack Obama’s presidency could signal increased opportunities for black models in editorials, ad campaigns, and on runways:
In the video David Rogers, a Global Brand Expert, says, “Marketers are finally waking up to it, ya know Black is Beautiful. It’s just gonna become part of the fabric of the fashion imagery of pop culture. Which is a great thing.“
Hmm…Do you think having Barack in office will significantly diversify the exclusive fashion industry? Or will it continue to be a world where Black is Invisible?
Page Six reports that MTV’s House of Style is making a comeback!
They say, “The popular ’90s show about fashion and design, which helped make a household name of original host Cindy Crawford, is being revived.“
Rumors are also swirling that our fave camera girl Chanel Iman is in contention for the top host spot.
Based on Chanel Iman TV, will you be tuning in to the new and improved House of Style?
For those of you too young to remember the show, a clip:
The music was good…I’m kind of excited!
PS Did anyone else notice that the Herve Leger dress Linda Evangelista wore on the runway in the 90’s was almost identical to the one Lindsay Lohan wore to Maxim’s Sexiest Awards (in May 2007)?
Everything comes back at some point!
I was watching TV while on the treadmill today and saw that my mother’s favorites, Venus and Serena Williams, won the doubles Grand Slam at the Australian Open:

…watching those girls when I work out makes me just want to run faster and jump higher…they’re the bomb!
Congrats ladies!
Let’s do what we do best!
First Marchelle says, “I was wondering if you can tell me who designed the grey platforms Beyonce’s wearing here…“
“…I would so loooove to get my hands on them!”
Adriana says, “Beyonce’s rocking a version of these suede Casadei heels with a crocodile skin-covered platform, part of Casadei’s Crocodile Shock collection from Fall/Winter 08-09:“
“…Visit www.cassadei.com for store locations.“
Next, Camille says, “Could you help me find the name of the designer of the black dress Gabrielle Union wore to the BET Honors?“
“…Luv it!”
Gabby’s wearing the black version of this Reem Acra Pre Fall 2009 gown…
Get a similar look with this $250 ABS Allen Schwartz Black Jersey One Shouldered Gown:
…from www.bluefly.com.
Anne says, “I really need your help replicating this outfit worn by Victoria Beckham…“
“…The skirt doesn’t necessarily have to be leather, I just want it to be the same color. Thanks so much!“
Adriana says, “Here’s how to get the look of the may-jah one herself:“
1. Marc Jacobs Brown Square Sunglasses, $98. 2. Banana Republic Stretch Cotton Blouse, $59. 3. Steve Madden Dionne Sandal, $113. 4. Linea Pelle Women’s Leather Belt, $113. 5. Charlotte Russe Twill Salmon Skirt, $23.
And in a male mail bomb, Cornelius says, “I try extremely hard to be as diverse as possible–I would rather stand out than blend in with the crowd! Can you help me find this thing that Chris Brown has around his neck?“
“…I’m not sure what it’s called but I think it’s awesome.“
Hmmm, looks like Chris is wearing a Snood, an accessory that is both a scarf and a hood. If you want to spend, Barney’s has this Elder Stateman version for $1,138:
If that’s too much, try this Fair Isle Knit Snood for $15 from Urban Outfitters:
Good luck!
Now for wardrobe queries!
Cynthia says, “Are sequined outfits going out of style? I saw this cute sequined skirt...”
“…and was wondering what it could be worn with? Would you suggest that I buy it (or will it be out of style?)”
Cynthia, sequins *never* go out of style. They’re the go to outfit adornment for any high wattage event:
For your skirt, I’d say let it shine on its own, and balance out the sparkle with a low key black jacket or blazer with an eye catching clutch (go for a saucy tux aura):
Left to Right: Guess Diamond Blazer, $90. Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Waistcoat, $69. Forever 21 Glitter Clutch, $17.
Lastly, Lisandra says, “I’m a 21-year-old college student and I am looking to put a few pairs of cute sneakers in my wardrobe. Something cute but still affordable, I don’t want to spend more than $100 unless they are just super cute. Please help me step my sneaker game up!“
Sure. Try these affordable options:
1. Creative Recreation ‘Cesario Lo’ Sneaker, $80. 2. Converse Silver Sneaker, $67. 3. Alexander McQueen Puma Shoes, $92. 4. Puma Mostro Perf Sneaker, $100. 5. Diesel Women’s Live Rush Sneaker, $40. 6. Adidas Adi Hoop Mid, $50. 7. Nike Track Racer Women’s Shoe, $75. 8. Creative Recreation ‘Dicoco’ Sneaker, $100.
Pssst, check out this vintage FB post on cute, fashionable sneakers (I wrote it right after I had foot surgery!)
That does it for today:)
Have fabulous weekends! Countdown to Fashion Week begins today!
Bisous!
